Librarian pay

Once, I walked into our Public Library to find the books completely removed from one of the long shelves. When I asked what was going on, one of the librarians explained that the Library was replacing all of the book shelves. "What do Y'all need NEW shelves for ? Tell, the Head Librarian to send the shelves back and just give YOU guys a raise in PAY !" Well, you would have thought it was the first time anyone made such a suggestion. All the librarians gathered smiling around me as though I were a celebrity. From that day, on my entrance into the Library was met with enthusiastic greetings and constant attention for my needs. Even the Head Librarian once broke the rules saying "Well, we don't do this but, since you're the Library's favorite member, I guess we'll do it this time."

How little do librarians get paid, anyway ?

Prop. 9 would hike pensions for retired Texas teachers, school employees | The Texas Tribune

IF YOU ARE IN TEXAS, please go out and vote Yes for proposition 9.

Our retired teachers have not had a cost of living raise and nearly TWENTY YEARS!!!

Abbott doesn't think we deserve one.

Fuck Abbott and vote Yes

I was asked how the compounding for background acting work base pay raises adds up and here’s my insomnia fueled calculation. (Thanks Linda for asking me.)

I am tired and may be making a mistake with this so check the comments for anyone’s ideas/corrections.

Also, these percentages and dates are not pulled from the tentative agreement itself (as I do not yet have direct access) but from initial reports of what it may be. Don’t count on or plan for these numbers yet. Also, I’m not your accountant nor your agent (but I hope we work together soon as actors).

Here goes:

I believe you might get (through simple compounding of the background acting rate increase percentages) the following with a 11% raise this month (November 2023), 4% raise July 1, 2024 and 3.5% raise July 1, 2025. I will call these “periods of time” because I they don’t work out exactly to whole years:

1st period of time of new contract: 11% more than pre strike

2nd period of time of new contract: 15.44% more than pre strike

3rd period of time of the new contract: 19.18% more than pre strike

So the final period of time you are making more than the 18%+ number that the _entire combined_ 3 years results in because in 1st period and the 2nd period you have not yet had all 3 raises. Compounding does that.

To put it another way, using fictional dates of work:

Let’s say you got paid $100 before the strike for work on January 1, 2023 (this $100 is a dummy number just to show the math, a placeholder and not a value I am taking from anything the tentative agreement has; it is purely a dollar amount that is useful to illustrate the compounding).

For a similar day of work on December 15, 2023 (after the 1st pay increase of 11%) you’d get paid $111.

Then (after the second pay increase of 4%) for a similar day on August, 15 2024 you’d get paid $115.44.

And (after the 3rd pay increase of 3.5%) you’d get paid $119.48.

Compounding feels like magic, and not just with pay raises (your savings account and investments can compound). Compounding means every later percentage increase kinda also increases all the previous percentage increases too.

Compounding is nice to have, and confusing to do the math on sometimes. At least if it is oh dark hundred in the morning. 😝

Glad to see the pay increases for background work may be substantial in the SAG-AFTRA film/tv/streaming tentative agreement.

Strikes work, collective bargaining works, solidarity works.

Wausau committee pauses DPW pay hike proposal amid questions by HR director

Henderson said he has a bunch of questions on the proposal. “First of all, what kind of science was used other than ‘hey, I want my guy to make more money?’”

Damakant Jayshi Wausau’s human resources director is questioning the fairness and financial impact of a proposal to raise pay for Department of Public Works staff, prompting a pause on the plan Monday by a city committee. HR Director James Henderson was blunt in terming the DPW proposal as nothing other than a pay hike for the utility’s staff under the name of “reclassification.” “I have got a…

Wayne TV show

Ok so awhile ago someone (I’m sorry I don’t know who, if u know plz tell me so I can credit) came up with the idea of “what if the Waynes have a show like ‘keeping Up with the Kardashians’?”

Well I’ve been reading WFA and was thinking… what if they did have a show like that but the Wayne’s didn’t try to hide their weirdness. Like the weirdness that only comes from there nightlife.

I’m taking:

Damian keeps threatening to stab people and the crew think it’s a joke until he actually pulls out a dagger.

Dick decides the best way out of the manor is to do a flip out of a 3rd story window

Jason jokes about death (both his own and causing other people’s) a little to much

Tim full on passes out at the dinner table and Bruce just picks him up like he’s a toddler that weights next to nothing and takes him to bed

Cass has a habit of jump scaring the camera guy by just popping into existence next to them

They have a game of paintball that gets way to intense and ends up with Stephanie giving a speech that wouldn’t be amiss in a war movie

After ep 1 a lot of people talk sh/t about them online and in the next ep Barbara just random says names every now and then. It isn’t until after people work out she was saying the names of the worst people that sh/t talked them

For a long time all the viewers and crew thought Duke was the normal one until ‘the incident’

Jason and Tim are fighting and it’s getting pretty rough and bruce just spawns outta f/cking nowhere and just picks up the human tank that is Jason Todd like it’s nothing and just walks off

It becomes a running joke that whenever things go wide the camera just zooms in on Alfred, who just standing in the background calm as can be, as you can just hear the chaos continuing

Like everyone knew the Waynes were crazy but like…….. no one expected this

After the Upside Down and the hospital stays and the murder allegations, Steve and Eddie bonded. But Steve has an awful gaydar and Eddie has low self-esteem so neither one realizes the other one is interested. They flirt, awkwardly touch each other fleetingly, and neither one can tell if the other is interested!

So Robin and Steve start scheming for ways to make Eddie interested but it only serves to make him more frustrated. In turn, Eddie forces Wayne to help him seduce Steve. He goes to his uncle like, “I’m homo, I’m horny, and I need help!”

They realize they like each other after Robin and Wayne run into each other while spying on a date they helped their dinguses set up with each other.

#should I write this into a fic? #Uncle Wayne needs a vacation after dealing with these kids #Robin needs a pay raise because her best friend benefits don’t cover Steve’s utter obliviousness #Eddie just wants his man he doesn’t care how he gets him #and the kids are just watching this train wreck from a distance #stranger things #steddie #headcanon #steve harrington #eddie munson #robin buckley #uncle wayne

Prompt Single mom Danny lols

Now if you told pre Danny zapped that he would be a stay-at-home single parent for two very young half ghost children at 17 he would have called you insane.

Well joke's on him right?

Now Danny, freshly 17, is changing de-aged baby Ellie while trying to make sure 6 year old Dan also de-aged doesn't burn down the mansion. Vlad's mansion in Gotham ei where they are currently living Dan! You put that flaming hand down, right now mister!

Oh and the weirdo's in glorified spandex are not helping Danny's blood pressure. He's only 17 and he's already got a head of white hair! Damn his parents and their stupid de-power ghost ray!

The bats heard tidbits of calls and currently thinks Danny is being kept captive by some rich meta who is threatening Danny.

Danny is the one doing the threatening around here." Vlad you behave or I sic the feral children on you!" Danny being the most feral of course does most of the damage.
